Liz C., NP, provided extraordinary care to my mother throughout her treatment at Dana-Farber. Liz embodies the very best qualities of a nurse practitioner: compassion, competence, attentiveness, and an unwavering commitment to her patients. From the very beginning of my mother’s care, Liz has been a steady presence who not only manages the medical complexities of treatment but also ensures that my mother feels supported and cared for as a person.

She listens carefully to every concern and takes the time to explain things clearly and thoughtfully, which has been invaluable to us during such a difficult journey. Liz has shown incredible skill in handling complications as they arise, always responding with both clinical expertise and kindness. For example, when my mother experienced unexpected side effects, Liz acted quickly and decisively to manage the situation, reassuring us and ensuring my mother felt safe.

This combination of confidence and compassion is what sets her apart. What stands out most about Liz is her ability to make patients and families feel that they are not facing cancer alone. She treats my mother with respect and dignity, and she extends that same care to our whole family by keeping us informed, answering our questions patiently, and offering comfort during stressful moments. She consistently goes above and beyond, whether it’s checking in after a difficult treatment, coordinating care seamlessly, or advocating for what is best for her patient.

In every interaction, Liz demonstrates the values that Dana-Farber holds dear: patient-centered care, excellence, and compassion. My mother and our family are deeply grateful for the role Liz has played in her care. She has made an incredibly challenging experience more manageable through her professionalism, empathy, and unwavering support. She exemplifies the kind of provider every patient and family hopes to have—skilled, compassionate, and wholeheartedly dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those she serves.
